FIRE

Today has been a long but lovely day. My Mom stopped by today for a visit . . . we absolutely loved every minute. The kids were as excited as I was to see her and all had a lot to say.

More landscaping was completed today . . . more plantings were put in today as well as lighting. Tomorrow . . . SOD in the back yard! Yippee!

Tonight we enjoyed this:

The hubs and I started up a nice fire . . . we had a very rickety outside rocker that we purchased from Cracker Barrell many years ago that the kids and I broke apart this afternoon that burned beautifully. The crackling and smell of wood burning was so relaxing as we sat and listened to the Back to School song that plays nightly by the locust. We first heard the locust singing two weeks ago and had to smile . . . it is back to school time. From the time I was young, the locust sound was my signal that school was starting soon . . . even now it makes me smile.

The boys played outside a good long time this afternoon and tonight. They should sleep well tonight!

I brought the pictures in of the fire tonight and loaded them on my computer. K said, Wow . . . isn't it amazing that now they have see and smell photos. She was being silly . . . she was viewing the photos and smelling me . . . I was the fire stirrer and smelled of burning wood/smoke.

Who Am I?

Our Lives Unscripted is 100% the way our family lives. We rarely make plans in advance because LIFE happens.
I truly believe God has a tremendous sense of humor . . . especially when He BLESSED us with FOUR little boys all within five years time.
God has also blessed us with a beautiful daughter . . . she is gorgeous inside and out!
I have been married to my husband Randy for almost 30 years and he is my best friend. Randy was injured when we had only been married 4 years and lives day to day with a permanent handicap to both of his knees.
God sees us through each and every day. Through the challenges and blessings! To Him do we Praise!

Welcome to Our Lives Unscripted!

My blog features life as a Mom to Five . . . my teenage daughter is 18 and my four boys are ages: 9, 8, 7 and 5. My days are never the same, my kiddos guarantee that. There are times that I know that no-one, absolutely NO-One would believe my story without pictures. I will post a little of this and that from our lives - sometimes funny, sad, challenging, hysterical, unbelievable or just a bit of common every day life.

The Fall of 2012 brings about changes in our lives . . . we are Home Schooling our FOUR boys. I am sure it will be interesting . . . AND challenging.

I am also Mom to a child with SEVERE Peanut & Tree Nut Allergies. Eating can be a definite challenge. Trying to keep my little guy SAFE is a top priority! Trying to educate others is quite a challenge! Would you believe some people actually think parents of food allergy children "over react"? Hmmmm I wonder how THEY would react if it were their precious child whose life is at risk if he/she ate something contaminated with life threatening allergens. I am quite certain, they would LEARN very quickly to "over react"!

Be sure to check out the tabs below the header as I have included my other blog, drawings and even a few recipes.

I welcome you to join as a follower or simply lurk. Feel free to ask questions by leaving a comment or sending me an email. You are sure to find adventure or maybe a giggle or two. So grab your cup of coffee or tea and relax at my place for a while. I would love the company.
